36th Inning

[Scout's still out on the town. He's not afraid of the hazmats. Scout's doing what a Scout does. He's keeping an eye on everything. He's moving fast, never stopping for long. He's sticking strictly to the roofs and trees. He's got his shotgun in his hands the whole time. He's been doing this for days now, ever since the hazmats first showed up, stopping at home only to make sure his own house and its residents were still okay.

He watches helplessly as they enter homes and burn them to the ground. And every second he gets angrier and angrier. He'd never admit it, not for a second, but he's actually scared. Scared for the people in this town and what's going to happen. Scared that this place was going to end up torched like Westport, and there wasn't a goddamn thing he could do about it.

The streets were almost devoid of people, but he was out and about. Are you out there? He might just stop to talk to you, but not for long. Do you yell out for help? Scout'll be there in a flash.]

[She gives a quiet, slightly bitter laugh. Despite her uncertainty of the situation, it was a familiar one to her.] Would you believe that shit like this happens quite a lot where I'm from? Maybe that's why it's getting to me so much...

[Gives a nod.] I will.

[Scout's last statement gets silence from April but, although her expression shows nothing, her apprehension can be seen by her tightened grip on her rifle.]

Seriously? That sucks. Least yer armed for it.

[He sighs a bit as he surveys their area again.]

Whattaya think? Ya think anyone's gonna turn that guy in in time?

I'm...not sure. I mean, I can understand not wanting to surrender or condemn someone to a possibly painful death, but...to be honest, I'm kinda hoping someone will. [April gives a sigh as she hefts her rifle onto her shoulder, running a hand through her hair in agitation. Although she'd never admit it, she's actually scared of what will happen if he isn't turned in.]

I hate sayin' it too, but I don't think we got a lotta options. I wouldn't put it past 'em ta level this place like Westport just ta find him.

[You're in good company there, April.]
